At stake is whether last year’s statewide vote on the proposed amendment will be certified. Voters approved the amendment – known as “Marsy’s Law.”

The Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers challenged the wording of the ballot question and a lower court judge agreed it was too vague.

On Friday, an attorney for Marsy’s Law supporters argued the ballot language reflected the “essence” of the amendment. Attorney Sheryl Snyder said a ruling against the language would negate the election results.
